At 8 years old he he began studying martial arts at the army-affiliated Junior Lu Guang Drama School. He applied his martial arts skills as a stuntman in movies when he caught the attention of director Cheh Chang who then recommended Feng Lu to the Shaw Brothers as an actor. Lu’s first role came in 1978 when he played a fighting instructor in the film Five Deadly Venoms and this opened the doors for his subsequent villain roles.
The filmography of Feng Lu includes much of director’s Cheh Chang’s works, including Invincible Shaolin (1978), Crippled Avengers (1978), The Daredevils (1979), Two Champions Of Shaolin (1980), and Legend Of The Fox (1980). Feng Lu was one of Chang’s favorites talents, together with other Taiwanese actors like Sheng Chiang, Chien Sun and Ricky Tien-chi Cheng.
